What Happens If a Parking Notice Remains Unpaid?

Resolving a parking notice promptly helps prevent additional administrative steps.

If a Guardian Parking Notice is not resolved by payment or appeal before the stated deadline, the account may proceed to the next stage of the enforcement process.

Stage 1: Late Administrative Fee

If payment is not received by the due date, a late administrative fee may be applied. The updated balance will be reflected in the online portal.

Submitting payment or an appeal before the deadline avoids additional charges.

Stage 2: Escalation Review

If the notice remains unpaid after the late period, the account may move to escalation status.

During escalation review:

• Additional reminder notices may be issued

• The account may be evaluated for collection referral

• Property-level enforcement measures may be considered

Escalation status does not prevent you from resolving the notice. Payment may still be submitted through the official portal.

Stage 3: Collection Referral (Where Applicable)

Unresolved accounts may be referred for external collection review in accordance with applicable laws and contractual enforcement authority.

Collection agencies operate independently and follow regulated communication standards.

Resolving the notice before referral helps avoid further administrative involvement.

Important Notes

• Submitting a valid appeal before the deadline pauses escalation during review.

• Payment submitted at any stage updates the account status.

• Guardian does not initiate municipal penalties for private property notices.

If you believe the notice was issued in error, you should submit an appeal before the stated deadline.
